A lackluster first quarter on the foreign theatrical circuit for Hollywood’s major studios — down an estimated 30% on a combined basis from 2010 — ended with Battle: Los Angeles taking the No. 1 box office for the third consecutive weekend and pushing its overseas tally past the $100 million mark. …

The first-place weekend gross for Sony’s Battle: Los Angeles (titled World Invasion in some foreign markets) was $14.7 million drawn from 5,999 screens in 60 markets, hoisting its overseas cume to $100.5 million.

Gee, I wonder why Captain America director Joe Johnston’s first statement about the film was to reassure everyone Captain America wouldn’t be American-ey?
